Ayo Edebiri reportedly appearing in Margot Robbie’s all-female-led Pirates movie got Johnny Depp’s fans infuriated.
Ayo Edebiri To Appear in Margot Robbie’s Pirates of the Caribbean
Following Johnny Depp‘s notorious defamation trial against Amber Heard that punctured his reputation and fame, the actor lost his association with Disney and Warner Bros. This led to Depp losing his Pirates of the Caribbean projects and Fantastic Beasts movies. Therefore, after dropping Depp from the Pirates franchise, Disney turned toward Margot Robbie who had an iconic pitch.
With Disney looking to create their next Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, they got two ideas in 2020, as per Variety reports. One was from screenwriter Craig Mazin and Ted Elliott, while the other was Margot Robbie’s all-female-led Pirates reboot. But it appeared that since the screenwriters had worked with the studio in previous films, they picked Mazin and Elliott’s script over Robbie’s pitch.
Johnny Depp’s Fans Are Mocking the All-Female Pirates Reboot
As the reports of Disney proceeding with Margot Robbie‘s all-female-led Pirates of the Caribbean movie hit the internet, Johnny Depp’s fans lost their minds. Previously rallying against Disney for taking out the actor from the franchise, Depp’s fans are now infuriated with the reboot idea.
Slamming the idea of an all-female-led Pirates reboot, Depp’s fans filled the comments section on X, with sarcasm and mockery. Some claimed that the movie would fail immediately upon release due to a lack of Johnny Depp, others noted how the franchise wouldn’t be the same without the OG Captain Jack Sparrow.
